Looking for a unique way of bonding with and rewarding your staff, clients, sales associates, and franchisees?

Here’s another brilliant idea: Get the best resource person.
Book your wine tasting and wine appreciation seminar with the one of the best nose in the business. Sébastien Gavillet, Chief Wine Officer of Wine Aromas/(Le Nez du Vin) and administrator of the first multilingual wine education blog, www.WineVibe.com, is a professional wine taster and educator. He is the perfect resource person for a wine tasting seminar.

Sébastien definitely has the experience, the expertise and the skills to give you and everyone else you invite something interesting and refreshing to rave about. One of his recent speaking engagement was at the AmericasMart Gourmet Show in Atlanta featuring prominent keynote speakers like Chef Alton Brown.

And here is what Robert Hall, President of Bottega del Vino Crystals and sponsor of the Gourmet Show event has to say about Sébastien:

“Sébastien’s wine and food knowledge is truly encyclopedic and he is a terrific resource to work with.”

Sébastien has also been invited to Lynne Rossetto Kasper’s radio show, The Splendid Table, to speak about wine aromas kits and the importance of aromas in wine.
